Workflow question

Question
-
I am creating my first workflow and am trying to pull info from first name field as well as last name field in a custom entity and put that info into a Full Name Field (basically First name SPACE Last name).
I can create a workflow and have it put first name and last name into that field but there's no space between the two. How do I do this?

Hi,
you can use a custom activity workflow that I created, you can download the managed solution here:

I went off the screenshots you have on the link you provided but still having a minor issue. It's only populating the first name. See screenshots attached.

Hi,
I noticed that you are using CRM 2013 and I tried my wf activity with CRM 2013. It's not working as you said, but in my test environment it is not working also a simple concatenation of the fields (for example firstname+lastname without spaces, I get only the first field inside the target).
I started to think that this is a possible bug of CRM 2013 related to the processesMy blog: www.crmanswers.net - Rockstar 365 Profile

So it's a no-go on 2013 currently. Bummer.
I do appreciate you taking the time to respond.
